Communication with Parents of Babies Impacted by Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Jennifer Canvasser, founder and director of the NEC Society, discusses the critical importance of communication with parents of babies impacted by necrotizing enterocolitis. Jennifer’s son Micah died of complications related to necrotizing enterocolitis a month before his first birthday. The patient-family advocates within the NEC Society have emphasized that they were desperate for more information during their child’s hospitalization. Parents want to be part of their child’s care team, but they are reliant upon the providers to inform, engage and empower them to take on this active role.

This video talks about the current Opioid and NAS epidemic, current methods of managing NAS, and a new approach known as ESC or Eat, Sleep, Console. This EBP brief reviews three retrospective/quality improvement studies and outlines a process for centers who wish to implement ESC in their institutions.

Discussion of the use of maternal voice intervention for preterm infants in the NICU. Maternal voice results in autonomic stability, weight gain, and reduction in maternal anxiety. Author discusses recommendations of intervention in practice as well.

In this video, we highlight the need for provision of effective modes of respiratory support for newborns in low and middle-income countries. We summarize the current evidence on bubble CPAP-a non-invasive and cost-effective method of delivering CPAP. We draw the listener’s attention to the driving factors that led us conduct our research viz. to understand implementation challenges in use of bubble CPAP.

The use of gastric tubes in newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit is fairly high, and there is risk of serious complications related to this procedure. This video abstract provides an overview of our research, which aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for verifying gastric tube placement in newborns. This method does not envolve exposure to radiation.

This video provides a brief overview of the recent manuscript entitled “Systematic Review: What is the evidence of the side-lying position for feeding preterm infants?”. This review summarize and evaluate the currently available literature on the effects of the side-lying position on oral feeding outcomes in preterm infants.

Introduction to the manuscript describing the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool (NeoEAT)– Bottle Feeding, a 64-item parent-report measure of bottle feeding behavior in infants less than 7 months old. Clinical and research uses of the NeoEAT – Bottle feeding are described as well as next steps for development and testing.

This video introduces Guest Editor, Tamara Meeker, CRNP, highlighting the Special Surgical Series for Advances in Neonatal Care. This special series concentrates on surgical diagnoses and surgical procedures affecting the neonate while in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The articles include esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula, congenital infantile fibrosarcoma, risk of abdominal compartment syndrome in the neonate, VP shunt for intraventricular hemorrhage, and telemedicine for the complex surgical patient. Each article includes pathophysiology and the need for astute assessment in preventing further morbidity or mortality as well as nursing’s role in caring for these critical neonates.

This video provides an example for creating a video abstract with an i-phone in a quiet environment without an external microphone. Video abstracts should be designed to be inviting, engaging and informative.
